About the Company

Exelon

Regulated utility delivering electricity and gas

Exelon is a public utility holding company that owns six regulated electric and gas utilities on the East Coast and in the Mid-Atlantic: Atlantic City Electric, Baltimore Gas and Electric, Commonwealth Edison, Delmarva Power, PECO, and Pepco. Its main work is delivering electricity and natural gas to about 11 million customers through these regulated utilities, and it earns revenue from state-approved rates for transmission and distribution rather than from energy commodity prices. The company supports grid modernization and infrastructure upgrades with substantial capital investments; its business model emphasizes reliable service, regulatory compliance, and predictable earnings tied to regulated rates. Exelon’s goal is to provide safe, dependable energy delivery and improve the electric grid, while growing through prudent investments within its regulated footprint.
